Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu says she will not attempt a full 90kg snatch at the Commonwealth Games 2026. Speaking to media, she indicates she is choosing not to go all out in the CWG, instead managing her workload to focus on later competition in the year. Chanu’s decision is described as part of a planned approach to her season, rather than a withdrawal from the event. She remains set to compete at the Commonwealth Games, but with a strategy that prioritizes conserving effort for the Asian Games, which are scheduled later in 2026. The explanation presented by Chanu centers on athlete management and the need to peak at the right time for key events. Across the reports, there is agreement that Chanu is deliberately holding back on the 90kg snatch attempt at CWG 2026, citing a “legitimate reason” linked to preparations for the Asian Games. The sources do not report any injury or other external cause, focusing instead on her competition planning.
